Speaking of beheadings in Iraq: Death squads beheading prostitutes in Iraq Iraqi death squads armed with huge swords are summarily beheading women they suspect of being prostitutes. Arabic newspaper The Al Hayat says travellers from Baghdad have reported up to 50 women being decapitated in front of their homes and their heads hung on railings "as a lesson to others" . The campaign apparently has the backing of Saddam Hussein's regime and is being carried out by the notorious "Saddam Fedayeen" (Saddam's Guerrillas) under his son Uday, alleges the Al Hayat, according to the Tribune. The travellers claim victims have also included men alleged to have acted as pimps and relatives who have condoned or covered up the women's behaviour. The Al Hayat report says the terror squads are acting after an increase in prostitution because of poverty caused by UN sanctions. ananova.com The ananova link doesn't have a date.
